Irondale
officials are keeping an eye on Vestavia Hills, which became the first to
take advantage of a law allowing Jefferson County municipalities to sell
car tags Tuesday.

Officials
expect to have a soft start to their tag program June 1 to work out details,
with the program expected to be fully operational July 1, City Clerk James
Stewart said after Tuesday night's city council meeting.

"We want to
have a time period in there when we have an opportunity to work things out,"
Stewart said.

Tags will be
sold in the revenue office at Irondale City Hall, Stewart said.
